Dönnhoff - Nahe Riesling Roxheimer Höllenpfad 2022 (sec)

"A Riesling with an intense herbaceous character due to its proximity to the Nahe River!"
"The climate in Roxheimer Höllenpfad is cooler, and the grapes are generally harvested 4 to 5 days later than in Niederhausen. Red sandstone soils. The bouquet reveals plenty of freshness, minerality, and subtle nuances of pear and quince. The attack is fruity and slightly salty. A good symbiosis between charm and freshness! An inviting, invigorating and persistent wine. It will be interesting to follow its evolution, but the real challenge may be to resist it!" (Yves Beck 2023)

About wine:
Very striking nose of wild berries and herbs (tarragon!), with a hint of white peach. Very spicy and vibrant, it has a great mountain freshness on a slender and concentrated body. This wine has lots of lime zest and marrow on a dry and very energetic finish. Made from organically grown grapes certified Fair'n Green. Drink now or keep.
